1To the choirmaster: with stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness! You have given me relief when I was in distress. Be gracious to me and hear my prayer! (أي 36:16; مز 61:1; إش 54:17; إر 23:6; حب 3:19)2O men,[1] how long shall my honor be turned into shame? How long will you love vain words and seek after lies? (مز 5:6)3But know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself; the Lord hears when I call to him. (خر 11:7; مز 50:5)4Be angry,[2] and do not sin; ponder in your own hearts on your beds, and be silent. (مز 42:8; مز 77:6; أف 4:26)5Offer right sacrifices, and put your trust in the Lord. (تث 33:19; مز 37:3; مز 51:19; مز 62:8)6There are many who say, “Who will show us some good? Lift up the light of your face upon us, O Lord!” (عد 6:26; مز 31:16; مز 67:1; مز 80:3; مز 80:7; مز 80:19; مز 89:15; مز 119:135)7You have put more joy in my heart than they have when their grain and wine abound. (إش 9:3; إش 16:10; إر 48:38)8In peace I will both lie down and sleep; for you alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety. (لا 25:18; لا 26:5; تث 33:28; مز 3:5; مز 16:9)
